Lewis has been a valued backup, but the Seahawks went with six linebackers and instead kept an extra defensive lineman.

Rookie defensive linemen Nick Reed and Michael Bennett both remain on the roster, as well as Derek Walker, a rookie out of Illinois.

The Seahawks are heavy on defensive linemen at the moment with 11, while keeping just three safeties. But that likely will change when Milloy is added to the roster.

As expected, the Seahawks placed Marcus Trufant on the Physically Unable to Perform list, which means he’ll be unavailable for at least the first six games of the season while continuing to recover from a disk problem in his back.

Veteran offensive linemen Walter Jones and Chris Spencer are on the final 53-man roster, though neither is expected to be available for at least several more weeks due to injuries.

The Seahawks kept seven other offensive linemen, but could still look to pick up help there now that other teams have whittled their rosters down to the final 53 as well.

Veteran Olindo Mare won the placekicking battle and Ben Obomanu is the final receiver on the roster as the Seahawks went with five there instead of six. Courtney Taylor and Jordan Kent were both released.

Travis Fisher, a former St. Louis Ram picked up on waivers just prior to camp, is the fourth cornerback on the roster as Kevin Hobbs was released.

Rookie draft pick Cameron Morrah won the battle for the third tight end spot over Joe Newton as the Seahawks kept all of their draft choices except for safety Courtney Greene.
